It seems that the rebellious style is ingrained in Miley Cyrus no matter how gentle and feminine she claims to become. Over time, the female singer’s boldness increased.
It is no coincidence that Miley Cyrus is known as Hollywood’s “rebellious muse”. Abundant creativity and breakthrough ideas are what fans always see in every product of the female singer.
Summer 2019 is about to enter its most exciting and dazzling period.
And Miley Cyrus’s MV Mother’s Daughter was like a spark that ignited the stage, contributing to warming up the atmosphere right from the moment it left the factory.
Mother’s Daughter audio version was released at the end of May.
The song sends strong feminist messages while promoting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and all groups of groups). other sexual minorities).
This comeback MV was identified by many viewers as being true to Miley Cyrus’s personality: strong, individualistic, equally rebellious and passionate.
Filled with bold metaphors
The female singer begins her MV with an image depicting her teeth, even though they are tightly braced, but still leisurely chewing gum. She shows a confident, somewhat careless, liberal attitude, honoring strong sovereignty.
Next is the line “Every woman is a riot” instead of inviting the audience to enjoy the product to see the breakthrough that Miley Cyrus brings.
Indeed, the rebellious Disney princess has returned, still confident and proud, not caring about public opinion, living as herself with her own musical taste.
The MV Mother’s Daughter sends viewers a bold message honoring gender equality, while also taking a jab at the Alabama government’s law prohibiting women from having abortions.
The lyrics continuously repeat the exclamation: “Oh my God, she has strength. Oh look at her, she has strength” with a steady rhythm to affirm the female ego.
Miley Cyrus wears a red latex outfit that hugs her whole body and is likened to an image that symbolizes the color of blood.
Flashy, somewhat daring, overly sexy frames are shot one after another, like two women’s breasts wrapped around tangerines, close-ups of lingerie or a tongue licking braces-covered teeth… All of this brings strong provocation, aimed at closing down the central issue of the song: “Don’t prohibit and play with my freedom”.
The ego here represents the strong desire and ambition of women, the desire to escape prejudices and false judgments to be treated fairly and equally.
Miley Cyrus was also the one who came up with the visual idea with director Alexandre Moors. In particular, the MV also features her mother, Tish Cyrus.
The female singer believes that her mother is the person who greatly influenced her current strong personality, instilling in her an unconventional lifestyle and always fighting for what is right.
Miley Cyrus also shared about her purpose of integrating human rights in the MV: “I don’t label myself as a social activist. I’m just fighting for my freedom by being myself.”
Will the disruption go too far?
Psychiatrist Keth Ablow once said: “Today, young people have more sex, talk about sex more openly, play extreme sports, get piercings, tattoos, and use stimulants to forget.” a state of ‘mental death’. They also eat a lot and gradually become obese.
Obsession with sex, drugs, violence and obesity are just manifestations of the ‘total depersonalization’ lifestyle that society America (and countries influenced by American culture) are facing it.
Miley Cyrus, like many other singers, cannot avoid bringing sex into her products due to cultural and environmental influences.
The bold, sexually suggestive images can be understood as the female singer’s way of expressing her “secret love for vulnerability” when facing social injustice.
Do not deny the profound implications Miley Cyrus conveys in her work.
The image of an obese girl sitting with her legs stretched out, waving a fan in her hand, her haughty face showing her charm, or a naked woman with the words “I am free” imprinted on her body… brings strength. Great impact for viewers.
However, does freedom necessarily mean stripping off clothes, being naked, and being provocative to the point of being direct?
The accessories are attached right to sensitive parts, the touching scene is shocking… causing the MV Mother’s Daughter to be commented as the female singer’s “shocking before but now even more shocking” return.
If this is a way for Miley Cyrus to attract more attention to her product because the previous audio version did not receive much attention, then she has succeeded.
